Kyoto Event: Kitano Odori Dance Performance [4K]

[@Benjamin-k2g]

This will always be my favorite thing about the internet. When it introduces you to something you didn't know you enjoy.

[@skycloud4802]

KZbin occasionally reminds me of old KZbin, when KZbin was great. I love seeing things like this.

[@intreoo]

Imagine being one of the first foreigners back in the 19th century to see geiko/maiko performances. They must've absolutely been enchanted

[@Kai-gy8eg]

The Japanese culture is just so beautiful

[@onyx6411]

and elegant

[@Sharkfoxslay]

[@simplymusic1163]

@이고양 okay...

[@everythingbeauty11]

Yes it is !😍

[@vaishalikarande7649]

Every culture is beautiful ☺️

[@TyLee96]

Katsuna's dance is so angelic, I take a lot of inspiration from her for dancing ballet.

[@HawkinaBox]

Japan has such an amazing culture

[@warriorofdeath24]

The beauty of the performance left me breathless, true acts of art , a standing ovation for all those who danced . 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@蘭丸-v1w]

舞妓さんの華やかさと芸妓さんのシックさに思わず見とれてしまいました。このところ体調が悪く落ち込んでいましたが、所作の一つ一つが息をのむような美しさで、とても元気づけられました。ありがとうございます🌸

[@shaynewheeler9249]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@TheSuperCrunch]

Wow! So incredibly beautiful! To be able to move with such grace and as if they are floating is incredible! I'd love to watch this live one day, I'm sure it's something to remember for sure!

[@discoverkyoto]

Hope you can do it one day!

[@relaxingexscapes]

@@discoverkyoto I've always wanted to be a geisha

[@puppiest]

@@relaxingexscapes i think it is possible to be a geisha as a foreigner, i don’t know the process but i have seen geishas that are not japanese

[@BahamaBeauty24]

I’m currently reading “Geisha, A Life” and I wanted to be able to picture it properly in my head when they talk about their dance performances. I am not disappointed.

[@hellaluigi5252]

I know I’m 3+ years behind you but I’m doing the exact same thing right now haha

[@danagordon1855]

Very beautiful.. and artistic... lovely and elegant dancing... I truly enjoyed watching

[@SilentAnonymity]

1:19 is my favourite, such grace, power, and articulation all in one very expressive character.

[@discoverkyoto]

Good eye! That's Fukuzuru-san, one of Kamishichiken's veteran geiko. She's very talented!

[@yogawarriorgirl]

I was wondering about her. I got the same vibe from her as The Queen of the Night from Mozart's "The Magic Flute". I wonder what sort of role she was playing.

[@muhammadzahirkahan9844]

It is a male's dance that's why

[@Neldidellavittoria]

I too was impressed by the old geiko.

[@toyahjp]

勝奈さんのしなやかな動き、綺麗ですね。思わず　「美しい」　と一言・・・・

[@charlesalvarez3405]

🇨🇴🇯🇵私は日本をとても尊敬しています、コロンビアからこんにちは!!!

[@minobu75]

Elegance, beauty, expressiveness, tradition, I love these events, where you can enjoy the art of Maikos and Geikos, thank you very much.

[@arunprasad207]

Beautiful to watch old traditions.

[@shielaaposaga2394]

What beautiful performance and culture of Japanese

[@ovo8709]

2:04 - 2:32 i have literally never seen such a gorgeous geisha or maiko in my life, oh... dont even get me started... such grace, such expression, such emotion

[@foureyedsnake244]

I think this might be a Geiko rather than a Maiko. You can generally regonize it by the hair. Geiko's wear wigs and Maikos use their real hair. In the end for example the ones with accessories in their hair are Maikos. And their Kimonos are also more patterns and colourful than a Geiko's.

[@Shtefan-Switkowski]

А как найти эту пьесу пожалуйста скажите

[@Shtefan-Switkowski]

@@foureyedsnake244как найти и посмотреть эту пьесу ?

[@goombapizza6335]

​@@foureyedsnake244 There's no way to tell from this particular piece. She is in costume there, performing as a fictional character. She is wearing neither maiko nor geiko hair or dress. In some of the skits, some of the geiko are even dressed as stylized men.

[@Abbeville_Kid]

@@goombapizza6335judging from her age and that the Kimono she’s wearing is typical of a Geiko, I’m sure it’s safe to assume she’s a Geiko.

[@makeithappen7673]

It truly is a privilege to watch this live. I’m glad to have experienced this graceful art form last week. Definitely one of Japan’s best.

[@franciscomoreno9846]

1:27 a explosion of colour and music which made me feel overwhelmed and delighted!

[@dearselene7118]

Same, it somehow (To me) gave off a feeling of youthful innocence, but slowly aging.

[@RexRenart]

1:31 - 1:54 I like that part very much, I don't know why.

[@gorannashreen2822]

Me tooo, am trynna see where the video of the full dance is if there is one just for that scene

[@FrankDeFelicecasan]

The musicians are so serious, and the dancers perform so nicely.

[@danyfalah1946]

I am going to see it live this November, i can't wait! Edit : It was wonderful! They also sell Confections and snacks too which i bought for my friends and family at home. Too bad you're not allowed to record the performance, but overall is great, loving it!

[@luciagianquitto5577]

The geiko At 1:27 is really espressive, You Can Read The emotions of The character She plays

[@discoverkyoto]

That is veteran geiko Fukuzuru-san dancing the "Flowers of Tabaruzaka", depicting the battlefield of the Satsuma Rebellion/Seinan War.

[@AThousandTales]

Geiko is the Kansai dialect for geisha. ^^

[@renro4435]

Thanks a lot! Watching the video makes you want to go visit Japan even more!

[@EmilyRafferty]

So elegant and mysterious 💖

[@rivolibioscoop]

このアップロードをありがとうございます。 この音楽は、適応力のある民族としての日本人のイメージを完全に変えました。これほど多くの異なる文化があり、日本が民族間の違いこそが平和であるという重要な古典文化を形成してきたことを誇りに思います。

[@hawkfeather6802]

That was really cool! All the different dances and plays were amazing to see.

[@hindsightpov4218]

The colors from their kimonos are so rich and a treat for the eyes.

[@mishaander7592]

I love these performances. They are all such talented artists

[@meooowww3672]

It’s my dream to party with Geisha one day. They are so beautiful, and this performance is very beautiful too.

[@wareforcoin5780]

It's hard to get into the tea houses where a geisha performs, but you can go to some restaurants where you can watch Maiko (basically juniors in training) for much cheaper. When I get my poop in a group and finally get to Japan for a trip, that's my plan.

[@llovett79]

So much skill and talent in dance. And bless the dressers and musicians that help bring this alive

[@kaito_bb]

I always wanted to see such dance/culture of Japan👏👏amazing すごい

[@sowhat5399]

This is the most graceful stage in life

[@marumaru4001]

勝奈さん素敵すぎる

[@moushimoushi8963]

Wow! I didn't know the Kitano Odori had so many skits! I'm so used to seeing maiko and geiko dance, but to see them act is a completely different treat ^^ It was also fun to see Umechie again, I miss her~ and seeing Maiko Umehina-san when she was just starting brought back a lot of memories! I would love to know who the older geiko is, she's so fiery!!

[@bayubudi44]

Japan is beautiful country

[@cassif19]

0:29 Such speed with those tiny, elegant steps

[@rtjahyadi7868]

I adore japanese culture and art!!!

[@varoonnone7159]

There are many beautiful cultures around the world but the Japanese one stands out as particularly refined and elegant

[@diamondroyal9163]

[@andrewdavis9096]

[@PitYerSuperPigeon]

Brings warm memories back to see Umechie again. Hope she's doing well.

[@XzRq0P2Q2]

3:16 katsuna is No.1 MAIKO❗️

[@meloracolissan7810]

They are so beautiful...

[@sanjeev2554]

Geishas are not artists They're a work of art. They live and breathe the art

Spectacles uniques au monde que ceux donnés par les geïkos et maïkos de Kyoto. J'ai assisté au Miyako Odori de Gion en 2014, une merveille ...

[@freelandLee1987]

They are so beautiful❤

[@AzurePearl1996]

This here is why Kamishichiken is one of my favorite Kagai.

[@Chronolink444]

Kagai is East Japanese thing. It's hanamachi in Kyoto.

[@toyman9642]

Thank you for the video. Very beautiful. Movements are so graceful. I do not understand Japanese but that did not interfere with my enjoyment. Regards from Bob in Ontario, Canada

[@tudormiller8898]

OMG!! They are truly beautiful. I'd love to spend the day with these women. Watching from London.

[@lindsey-do-it]

I really wish I knew more of the story so I could understand this beautiful thing

[@BigGrabowski]

Nice to see young ladies here, upholding the tradition. Geisha is a declining profession (or at least it was ten years ago when I heard), but it would be a good opportunity for an artsy woman who's steadfast on not marrying. I hope the gentlemen always treat them right.

[@imfeelinggood110]

Es triste que algo tan iconico a nivel cultural como lo son las geishas estén desapareciendo y siendo arrasadas por la cultura moderna..

[@纪洲滢]

曾经应为 艺伎回忆录 这部电影对艺伎有很深印象 但从未看过艺伎舞蹈 感觉很美！

[@jxliaalove]

Maiko's are beautiful❤

[@Elizotablo]

Magnifique!

[@배재영-f6u]

얼굴표정과 춤동작이 이야기한다 게이샤 너무 멋있다. 게이샤 마주보며 따뜻하게 달여진 정종 한잔. 술은 목을 타고 넘고, 술잔 안으로 벗꽃이 휘날리면서 떨어진다. 심장이 멎는다. 화장,향기,미소.

[@lgbtaresins]
